Halving Demo by Simon Judge

A demonstration of the 'halving' (also called scan-direct) method of switch access. This access method is a 'coded' method - each switch represents half of the screen (e.g. red switch =left, blue switch = right) and pressing a switch selects the corresponding side of the screen. This can offer a potentially quick method of access, but also one that can be learnt - since the switch presses are always the same. It would be of most benefit to people who have no problems with repeated switch presses and have the ability to learn the motor planning to make the method automatic.

Halving Demo - Alternative Method by Simon Judge

A demonstration of the 'halving' (also called scan-direct) method of switch access. This access method is a 'coded' method - each switch represents half of the screen (e.g. red switch =left, blue switch = right) and pressing a switch selects the corresponding side of the screen. This can offer a potentially quick method of access, but also one that can be learnt - since the switch presses are always the same. It would be of most benefit to people who have no problems with repeated switch presses and have the ability to learn the motor planning to make the method automatic. This is an ALTERNATIVE METHOD of implementing halving that allows for auditory feedback to be incorporated to aid learning.
